PEGI (the European Rating Board for Video Games) has rated a possible new Transformers themed game for Nestle Arcade.

The game is rated "3 years and up" and may tie-in with a future licensing promo.

The game has been developed by Marmalade Game Studio; the developers of the Hasbro Arcade. This raises a question whether or not this is the European version of the Transformers: Beast Hunters endless-runner for Hasbro Arcade.

Update: French website Play Smarter has more info.

"The Transformers license has not finished to be talked about at mobile scene, with Nestle Arcade Transformers Running Game.

This brief information comes from our colleagues Pockett Videogames that allegedly learned of the project through the European classification body. Nestle Arcade Running Game Transformers will be developed by the studio Marmalade Game which has also participated in the development of excellent titles such as Godus or Beyond Space.

This famous game is scheduled on mobile and PC and will be as its name indicates (Nestlé ed) an advertising game. We do not have more information about Nestle Arcade Running Game Transformers but we leave you a video of the latest productions of the studio, that gives a good overview of their skills."

Once again Blacklai has shared some in-hand images of the Generations series Combiner Wars Skydive. This third Aerialbot to be released in the upcoming new Deluxe wave that kicks off the Combiner Wars line. He's looking very sharp, although he has traded the Generation 1 version's thunderbolts for gold stripes on the wings.

Check out the images and see what you think of this sharp looking new Autobot.

The next DeNA Transformers: Legends event is now live.

During the last battle to save Cybertron from the monstrous UNICRON, two groups search for their allies. The DECEPTICON force, led by SHOCKWAVE, search for their new leader, GALVATRON. Meanwhile, ARCEE and DANIEL, separated from the AUTOBOTS, make their way through the bowels of their gigantic foe, hoping to find DANIEL’S father and their friends.

As they continue their exploration, the two groups happen upon each other, and quickly prepare their weapons. But before either side can fire a shot, CYCLONUS and SCOURGE are attacked by UNICRON’S internal defenses. RATBAT barely manages to escape their fate, and attempts to free his allies while his AUTOBOT foes are busy defending themselves from the same robotic arms.

Will ARCEE and DANIEL find their friends before it’s too late? Can the DECEPTICONS survive long enough to escape from the depths of UNICRON? Find out on TRANSFORMERS Legends: “Belly of the Beast”!

Arcee and Daniel available on the Episode Spacebridge.
Top Reward Card : Shockwave

- This week’s event is based on the original Transformers animated movie (1986). The movie is available on DVD and Blu-ray from all major retailers.

Build notes:

Boss difficulties and payouts have been adjusted. The previous Raid Boss event was a major success and we hope you enjoyed the shower of Battle Cubes but we needed to dial this back as exploits have been discovered that allowed players to farm cubes at a much higher rate than intended.

The Battle Chest has undergone a slight revision. Players will need to purchase both the R6 and R5 episode cards in each chest before the next chest will unlock.

MSN have updated their episode guide for Transformers Rescue Bots with details of the next two episodes - and we also have confirmation of another double-bill of new episodes!

First off, the double-bill - starting at 1pm EST on 13 December 2014 there will be a double-bill of new Rescue Bots episodes! The delayed season 2 episode "Riders of Midwinter" will air in an earlier 1pm EST timeslot on the Discovery Family Channel, and will swiftly be followed up by the all-new episode Switcheroo at 1:30 EST!

The two weeks that follow will bring two more all-new episodes - episodes 10 and 11 of season 3 (or 9 and 10, since there is some question of whether Riders of Midwinter is counted as season 3 now. The TV listing sites count it, so we're going by their numbering for the sake of consistency)

Those new episodes are:

S3 E10 Bot-Tastic Voyage
Airs December 20, 2014

S3 E11 Quarry's Quarry
Airs December 27, 2014

No descriptions for those as yet - but be sure to tune in to the Discovery Family Channel every Saturday at 1:30 PM EST for new Rescue Bots episodes all through December (with that double bill on 13 December starting from 1pm EST)

A very cool piece of news to share with you today coming via Gregory Titus Illustration. On top of the massive amount of infomation of the behind the scenes work that went into the packaging and art design of the Age of Extinction toy line, we have a first look at the package art for Junkheap and Vehicon as well as sketches for the robot modes of Slug and Scorn, which were originally going to be used for the packaging. On top of all that, there are also sketches of alternate character poses and slightly different character designs as well.

From the Gregory Titus Illustration page:

This project was an absolute monster. Pilot was brought in about 18 months before the movie came out. Though well into the design phase of all the Transformers characters, none were completed. We were working with concepts, designs, information, and deadlines that were constantly changing. It was an amazing challenge that we all rose to in typical Pilot fashion. We were brought in for everything, a total overhaul and rebrand of a toy line plagued with different packaging styles for a decade. We were tasked with uniting them under a single, new, and simplified Transformers banner and provide all designs and illustrations to go with it.

Be sure to check out the full gallery here and hit the discussion link below to share your thoughts.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science announced the top ten list for The Best Visual Effects award for 87th Academy Awards (2015 Oscars) yesterday.

Transformers: Age of Extinction is among the shortlist of movies which includes Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Godzilla and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. It's going to be a tough game since "Apes" seems to be leading the category. So at this point it seems we can't go bananas if the Robots lose to a bunch of monkeys... Apes, I mean Apes.

The shortlisted films are:

• Captain America: The Winter Soldier
• Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
• Godzilla
• Guardians of the Galaxy
• The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
• Interstellar
• Maleficent
• Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
• Transformers: Age of Extinction
• X-Men: Days of Future Past

This gallery finally gives us a nice look at the big bot, showing him off in some cool poses. In addition, it appears that his joints are rather strong indeed - enough to engage in a number of crazy poses (like breakdancing), which should be a good sign for the line's combiner gimmick stability.

This toy was one that had a mixed reception when revealed - do these pictures sway you to change your mind?
